Liverpool forward on the brink of concurring transfer move
© IMAGO- Arne Slot and Richard Hughes The focus so far this summer season has actually been on Liverpool’s spending,
however we still have sales to make. As such, the financial outlook of this window is likely to alter considerably over the next couple of weeks and as soon as deals are concurred, we’ll then have a much better understanding of how the team will look.

Currently it’s difficult to see where the gaps in Arne Slot’s outfit are, because Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz are almost ensured to leave eventually, however they’ll stay in our plans while they’re still here.
When it comes to Diaz, Liverpool have actually started to future-plan, by using Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha in their pre-season project instead of the Colombian, who was left out of the team for the game versus Stoke which took place behind closed-doors. This is due to the fact that the speculation surrounding his future has increased a notch in recent weeks. We’re now led to think he’s on the verge of a move.
Diaz and Bayern are close It’s the German giants Bayern Munich who have shown the most interest in Diaz so far and they’re intent on getting their man, in spite of the high EUR100m asking cost that Liverpool have actually put on him.
We didn’t know if Liverpool would consider budging on their needs, given that the position that club has shown up until now has actually been among ‘he’s not for sale’, but the current reports declares there’s been movement.

According to Nicolo Schira, who posted an update on X: “Luis Diaz is getting closer to Bayern Munich from Liverpool for EUR75m. Arrangement in principle with the winger for a contract until 2030.”
That figure would relate to around ₤ 65m which is ₤ 16m profit on the ₤ 49m Liverpool paid in 2022.
Naturally, it’s not quite the ₤ 80m that Liverpool were trying to find and whether the club decides to accept the offer or not is still unknown, although an ‘contract in concept’ exists if Schira is right.
Typically speaking, that amount feels like it relatively reflects his value, given that Diaz is 28 years-old and if the club genuinely aren’t seeking to use him a new contract, then why not cash in and replace him.
Gamers such as Rodrygo Addresses Real Madrid aren’t that more pricey, suggesting Liverpool might have a far remarkable winger, who is younger and has a higher ceiling, for around a ₤ 20m net invest.
A number of the fans are big admirers of the Brazilian and he would enhance Gakpo perfectly on the left.

Naturally, this prospective move relies on whether Diaz will actually leave, and we are yet to see a few of the more prominent and slightly more trusted outlets report this upgrade, however you feel we aren’t far away from the Reds allowing him to make the move he desires and ₤ 65m would be an excellent return.
